Future Site Updates
Completed Updates (Click to Expand)
Submit Links Section -- Completed!
This section will allow all visitors to submit their own content, which will then be reviewed and posted to the site provided it meets the submission criteria.
Date Expected: December 30th, 2008
Rules Section -- Completed!
This section will be a comprehensive list of the rules to follow in regards to different aspects of the site (shoutbox, link submission, requests, etc).
Date Expected: December 30th, 2008
Revamped Post Storage -- Completed!
In order to prepare for the request system we have planned, we have to completely reorganize the method of storing posts... all without breaking the current system. This is no small feat.
Date Expected: January 2nd, 2008
Revamped Search Engine -- Completed!
Due to recent changes in the way that we keep track of posts (drastic changes), the search feature won't properly work with posts added from this current time forward. It'll search the title and the links, but we would like it to also search the Info link, the password field, and the additional info field. We'll make this happen shortly. For now, it's not a huge ordeal.
Date Expected: January 3rd, 2008
View By Title -- Completed!
View only the titles of the posts, no matter whether you're searching, viewing by tags or categories, or checking out the main page.
Date Expected: January 3rd, 2008
Alphabetical List -- Completed!
This will allow you to view all the posts in a category in an alphabetical fashion, displaying only the titles.
Date Expected: January 4th, 2008
Improved Links Submission System -- Completed!
Most of all the other places on the web use an email system for the submission of links. That sucks. We're going to make it so that it's stored in our database, and we can easily review your submission, and with the click of a button either approve it and post it to the site, or decline it and have it deleted. It'll also email you in either situation, letting you know. No more wondering.
Date Expected: January 4th, 2008
Request Section -- Completed!
This section will be a robust request system, allowing requests to be made by all users. Once a request is submitted, it'll be listed so that any visitor that wishes to submit links can fulfill the request. The status will be listed along side the request.
Proposed Statuses: Requested Links Submitted In Process (By Team Member) Can't Find
Date Expected: January 4th, 2008
List By Year -- Completed!
Looking for that movie you saw when you were 14? Don't remember the name? See if you recognize any of the ones on our site! Just browse to the year in question and look at all the movie titles there.
Date Expected: January 5th, 2008
Internet Explorer 7 Optimization -- Completed!
Currently the site was built for Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately a good portion of internet users still use Internet Explorer. Sooo... we have the painstaking task of making the site show up well in IE 7. (IE 6 support is not planned at this time... that would be cruel and unusual punishment.) Other browsers (Opera, Safari) will be coming in the near future.
Date Expected: January 14th, 2008
Internet Explorer 6 Optimization -- Completed!
Previously we'd said we'd never optimize for IE 6... well, the IE 7 optimization went so extremely smooth, that we decided we hadn't paid our dues and been punished, so we're going to go ahead and optimize for IE6... if we don't come out alive... make sure our computers get well taken care of.
-- Yup we're just that good. If you have any problems let us know, but as far as we can tell with the tools we have available to us, we accomplished our goal.
Date Expected: January 14th, 2008
Safari 3 Optimization -- Completed!
We figured to hell with it, we're going to go ahead and do Safari tonight too. Looks beautiful.
Let us know if you have any javascript issues, etc.
Date Expected: January 14th, 2008
Opera 9 Optimization -- Completed!
Okay, Opera's done. Who's next? I'm running out of browsers here... iPhone maybe? That comes later though...
Let us know if you have any javascript issues, etc.
Date Expected: January 14th, 2008
List By Release Group -- Canceled
Prefer only aXXo releases? Sick of using the search feature to find these? This will solve that problem.
We decided we didn't like this feature. We provide samples of everything, and the search feature works well enough to find specific release groups. Just add the name of the release group onto whatever you're searching for. If our viewers request this feature, then we'll reconsider.
Date Expected: January 9th, 2008 -- Never
Design and Speed Optimization -- Completed!
The site loads up too slow and doesn't look good in all resolutions. This is a must fix.
After changing the background image, and making the adbar drop down 60 more pixels if your screen resolution is under 940, I do believe it is speedy enough, and looks good as we can possibly manage for any monitors under 950px resolution.
Date Expected: January 14th, 2008
RSS Feeds -- Completed!
We're working on creating RSS Feeds of all our content, both a global one, and ones based on category, and TV-Series feeds.
Date Expected: January 14th, 2008
Support for Television Series Episodes -- Completed!
We've been a little lazy, we must admit. In order to implement some of the coolest features we have floating around in our heads, we need to do some work to make a special section for television series. Having the episode names in links textbox during submission works fine for now, but that sure is going to cause issues when we television season going, and we want the newest episode to show up on the front page, but also be automatically appended to the old post. Sounds neat doesn't it? Yeah, we think so... we just haven't come up with how we're going to implement it.
Date Expected: January 27th, 2008
Admin -- Edit a LinkSet -- Completed!
Currently our admins have no method of editing a linkset, they just have to create a new one and not screw it up this time. We need to change that, because of the way our links priority system works.
Date Expected: January 27th, 2008
Link Checker -- Completed!
We'll have two different types of link checkers. One will allow you to put in any rs links you find and see if they're valid, and the other will be a simple button that allows you to "Check These Links" and make sure they're all working. (FUTURE UPDATE: If they're not working, we'll automatically delete the linkset.)
Date Expected: January 28th, 2008
Site Crawler - Check for Bad Links -- Completed!
The plan is to set up an automatic site crawler that checks for bad rapidshare links, and deletes those corresponding linksets automatically. Shouldn't be too hard to implement at all, we just haven't decided how often we want this to run.
Date Expected: January 28th, 2008
Display Posts With 0 Linksets -- Completed!
In our utopian internet world, our visitors would want to help us out by making sure we have plenty of links to keep content up. Plus, who wouldn't want to know what posts have a greater chance of their links showing up on the front page? Not to mention that this is needed for our admin's to be able to track what posts are completely dead and need new links asap.
Date Expected: January 30th, 2008
Release Name Field -- Canceled
We hate hideously long post titles. So we're going to add a field for the full scene release name. So this way our titles will remain short and pretty, and yet you can still view the release name easily, and even view only the release names, just like you can view only the titles.
Date Expected: Never
Expanded Admin Section -- Completed!
In order to better serve you, our admins need a simple message board to be able to contact eachother on, a currently-working on page, so we don't waste time by two of us working on the same thing, and some other useful ideas we've come up with.
Date Expected: March 30th, 2008
Link Submission Feedback -- Completed!
User: "Why weren't my links posted?! I followed all the rules!"
Admin: "Uh... I don't remember... I'll try to find out." This kind of situation sucks for everyone. We're working on eliminating it (or taking away one excuse for it anyhow). If you're a registered member to the site, when you post links, you'll be able to view the status of your submitted links, and if we have any problems with them, or comments, we'll be able to easily let you know!
Date Expected: April 1st, 2008
Scene Release CheckList -- Completed!
We want to ensure you can find all the latest content at SinlessLinks. In order to help us with this goal, and to show you just how good at it we are, we're going to use various RSS feeds to comprise a list of all the latest scene releases, whether or not we have them, and make it easy for you to submit your links for them.
Date Expected: April 2nd, 2008
iPhone Version of Site
Got an iPhone? Wnat to be able to browse the site and have it look pretty? We're working on it :-).
Date Expected: April 31st, 2008
Member Section
We at SinlessLinks don't like requiring or encouraging membership, however we do see a benefit. Often times in the past we'd be browsing for movies, etc. and find something that we really wanted to watch, but just not quite yet (or maybe our rapidshare quota was used up). It got old having to favorite all these links in our browser, as we tended to forget to delete them. Or maybe you're watching a TV series and only want to watch one episode at a time. Well the member section, among other things, will allow you to flag a post as a "favorite". Basically remember it on a convenient page for later.
Date Expected: April 31st, 2008
Dynamic Site Updates Section
Currently this section is static code. That needs changed! It'll be converted into a dynamic system, so that this section can double as an archive of all past updates to the site, essentially tracking the versions of the site.
Date Expected: April 31st, 2008
